Independence in practice
Workplace scenarios show how candidates think about setting up an audit function and keeping it independent.
Decisions through an engagement
See how candidates approach risk and controls during planning, then handle evidence, samples, and findings during audit work.
Shared, plain-language contexts
Scenarios draw from many industries and shared practice across countries, so the test does not depend on one country's laws or standard numbering.

Test integrity signals for employer review

Each candidate receives a different set from large question pools, with question order and answer options shuffled. The browser receives one question at a time, and answer keys never leave HireValid’s servers. The 10-minute timer runs on the server; reloading restores the same question with only time left, and candidates cannot go back. Question text cannot be copied or selected, and a blocked copy attempt appears in the timeline. HireValid records signals such as time away from the test tab, pastes into answers, and answers faster than a question can be read. Employers review those signals in an Integrity Score and evidence timeline; HireValid does not decide on its own. With candidate consent, employers can add webcam photos at random moments.

Use the score as evidence to review

Treat the score as one signal, not a hiring decision. Review it alongside a work sample, such as asking the candidate to examine a risk register or transaction sample and explain their reasoning. Then use a structured interview with the same open questions for each candidate. See our pre-employment testing guide and candidate-friendly hiring guide for more hiring guidance.

Understand scoring and benchmarks

Fairness and accommodations

Questions rest on practice shared across countries and sectors, not on any one country's laws or regulations, and never ask for the numbering of a published standard. Amounts are written without currency symbols, dates use the month as a word, names come from many backgrounds, and scenarios are drawn from many industries, including manufacturing, health care, retail, public bodies and nonprofits. The wording is plain English at a level suited to the role, so the test measures audit judgment rather than reading speed.

You can give any candidate extra time as an accommodation. Results are evidence for a person to review, never an automatic decision.

Provisional: reliability is reported once 200 candidates have completed it.
